The three were returning from a funeral themselves earlier this month, when Virginia State Police say Isiah overcorrected and careened off I-95 in Prince George County. "They said 'There's been an accident, and all three of yours are gone. They're gone,'" said aunt Roslyn Holmes, her voice breaking.

Authorities transferred the bodies to one funeral home in Virginia, than another in Maryland, and a third in DC, where they are being held. And at every stage, the costs have mounted. "I'm very grateful to have so many people, family friends, strangers helping us," said Farrow.

Isiah played rugby at the University of Mary Washington. "He was a great kid. A great kid," said his coach, Tim Brown.

He remembers a young man who had almost nothing, but was always smiling -- and excelling in the state rugby final. "I think Isiah touched the ball three times and scored twice. I think the quote from the JMU coach was, 'If he had touched it one more time, we wouldn't have one the game.'"

There's talk of insurance money to help cover about $33,000 in fees from the funeral homes and the cemetery. But Isiah, Cindy and Thomas Willis' bodies will go back into storage until his cousins come up with the money.

"It's very painful," says Farrow.

If you want to help the Willis' cover the expenses, you can contribute to their $17,000 bill at the Ron Taylor Funeral Home, 1722 North Capitol St, NW, DC, 20002... or to the more than $15,000 in charges for burial plots at Rock Creek Cemetery, 201 Allison St NW, DC 20011.
